Correct.

Yes, that should work, though I haven't done that in a while. You have
to options here. First option is to define a serial port which would
appear in your guest as a physical serial port, and you would set that
up to interface to your USB serial port on the host. The second option
is to dirrectly pass the USB serial adapter through to the guest. The
virtualbox user's manual has more details.
